Yes, in a way the book is like a cyberpunk because the definition of cyberpunk is a genre of fast-paced science fiction involving oppressice futuristic computerized societies. The book doesn't really talk about the advances in technology, but you could assume it's there. In the story it says how the women are confined, and this could be a form of Cyberpunk. The book is based on science fiction and futuristic activities, and cyberpunk has a lot to do with that. Jaunting certainly is not something that peoplel do today, and maybe in the future it will happen, but one can not determine that. However, the book The Stars My Destination, doesn't involve that much computer technology. It does involve space ships and such, but not that much computer technology.
